Here's some good news:
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A California appeals court has ruled that a private Christian high school has the right to expel students because of an alleged lesbian relationship.
The 4th District Court of Appeal in Riverside on Monday upheld California Lutheran High School's right as a private, religious organization to exclude students based on their sexual orientation.
Two teens filed a lawsuit claiming they were discriminated against after they were expelled from the Wildomar school in 2005 because of an alleged lesbian relationship.
A court in Riverside found that the school had the right to expel the girls because the school isn't bound by the same anti-discrimination laws as a business establishment.
John McKay, attorney for California Lutheran, says the school's goal is to educate children based on Christian principles.
I bet they are not 501c3, therefore they pay their taxes as a private entitity and therefore can expell whomever they want.
CHURCHES, TAKE NOTICE!
Questions I do have though:
* Where are the girls' parents? They are a factor in this whole situation.
*How long did the administration take to deal with the issue?
I believe in God. I also believe God. “Discernment is not simply a matter of telling the difference between what is right and wrong; rather it is the difference between right and almost right.” -Charles Spurgeon. Scripture is my authority for all things regarding to life and godliness. 2 Cor.10:5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ

501c-3 needs to be chucked. Lighthouse Trails aren't 501c-3 just for that very reason.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Before I don't think it was such a problem, but with increasing threats and actions against pastors, its becoming imparative to just get rid of the 501c3 and be private totally and not worry about getting tax write-offs.
ReplyDeleteThis really is good news, but I am not ready to move our church to CA for more religious freedom. If God ever ask me, I will tell Him I just love it here in the Bible-Belt and I want to stay. But if He says go to CA, then I hope these Judges are still on the bench.
